I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

I got sig'd! Sweet!  ;D

if only the idea didn't break down when we throw female baby dorfs into the equation, what with their beardlessness. or maybe they're born with a beard and it later falls off? Either way.

also, love the pic supermikhail!

If I recall correctly, I believe toady has established this at some point. I'm not sure where, though.

No, Toady was talking about the fact that there is now a tag in the raws for dwarves (in the next release) which you can toggle on and off to set whether females have beards or not, the default I believe is to have females beardless, but you can turn it back on by just putting the brackets in.

if that's the case, mine are definitely going to be bearded. Sorry for causing confusion, I could've sworn it was cannon. My bad.

Why stop at making them beardless? Give them all D-cups, Barbie-doll waists and make them all 170cm high. Also: blue eyes.

except for the assorted noble consorts. if they're gonna be whiny little bitches anyway, might as well give them a good reason to be. give them a scale-faced, rancid-breathed, hairless, horned harpy she-dwarf who is far burlier and definitely more barrelchested than their pampered royal selves.

I don't really care whether you make the females like that, what I do isn't your problem. So don't have an attitude over it.

More for the carp to grab hold of even if they are flotation devices?

unless they explode when punctured. that'll teach the fish not to mess with dwarves. Especially if they're somehow filled with magma.....I wonder if that's going to be possible in the new release...
